Citation Indexes Improve Bibliography in Technical Communication

Irving E. Stephens Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute

Abstract

Researchers continue to miss useful references because of unsystematic methodology and because on-going efforts at systematic bibliography have not utilized some key resources. Although no combination of available resources guarantees comprehensive bibliographic coverage for technical communication, composition, or rhetoric, researchers can significantly improve their personal efforts by using citation indexes and a few other databases.
